T 0- M2 whom it may concern:

. Be it known that'l, (Essen G. BINDER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, Woodhaven, borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie Containers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The present invention relates to improvements in containers for neckties and has for an object to provide a container in the form of a sheath, which, in addition to serving as a convenient holder for the tie serves also to keep the tie ironed and pressed. The container or sheath is adapted to receive a a slid-able insert on which the necktie is adapted to be folded, and which,when in position in the sheath is securely held therein.

Another object in view is to provide a container adapted to hold a single tie, the object being for the user to have as many containe-rs as he has ties, so that when a tie is not being worn it may be preserved in a flattened and pressed condition.

' Still another object in view is to provide a container which may be used as a display wrapper, and when used for this purpose it is provided with a transparent pane in its upper or top surface to permit inspection of the tie, yet preventing handling or soiling of the same.

The present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of the container when used as a display wrapper;

Figure 2 is a plan view of the tie when positioned in the container with the top removed;

Figure 8 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the container on the line 33 of Figure 1; and

Figure 4 is a horizontal-sectional View on the line 44 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings illustrating the invention 1 indicates a container formed of the truncated top and bottom members 2 and 3, which are united by any preferred means along the side edges 4 to form a sheath with the open ends 5 and 6 for receiving the slidable insert 7 over which the necktie 8 is" adapted to be folded. The insort 7 is adapted to be inserted in the open end 6 as shown in dotted outline in Figure 1 and is tapered to conform to the truncated shape of the sheath so that when inserted therein the side edges 9 wedge or impinge against the interior side edges of the sheath, thereby holding the same firmly therein.

The top and bottom members 2 and 3 respectlvely are made of pasteboard of sufficient stifi'ness to compress the tie, thereby ironing andpressing it and holding it securely against accidental loss therefrom. The members 2 and 3 assume the oval shape shown in Figure 4 when the tie is positioned in the sheath, but when removed therefrom the stiffness of the pasteboard causes the sides 2 and 3 to flatten out.

To insert the tie in the container the tie is doubled approximately at the middle of the neck portion 10, the doubled layer then being folded over the small end of the insert. The tie and insert may then be thrust into the large open end 6 of the container.

When used as a display device the contamer is provided with a transparent pane 11 in its top member 2 to permit inspection of the necktie contained therein. it is apparent that the container thus constructed may be used by dealers to exhibit ties to prospective customers, and, being inexpensive, may be used by the dealer as a wrapper to enclose a purchased tie. It could thereafter be used by the purchaser to provide a convenient holder for the tie when not being worn, which serves in addition, to keep the tie pressed and ironed.

Having described my invention I now claim:

1. A package comprising a-container open at opposite ends thereof and smaller at one end than at the other end, an insert, a tie or the like disposed longitudinally with respect to and around said insert, said insert with the tie thereon as aforesaid being pas"- able through the opening at the larger end of the container and disposed within and bulging the container, the side edges of the insert being in frictional contact with the interior surfaces of the side edge portions of the container, the insert being shaped substantially. similar to said container'to limit insertion of the latter.

2. A package comprising a container having an opening at one end thereof, an insert,

a tie or the like disposed longitudinally with respect to and around said insert, said insert with the tie thereon as aforesaid bein passable through said opening and dispose within and bulging the container, the side edges of the insert being in frictional contact with the interior surfaces of the side edge portions of the container, the container and insert being substantially tapered to limit the insertion of the latter and tie into the con- 5 tainer.

3. A package, comprising a substantially tapered container, a substantially tapered insert,. a tie or the like disposed around said insert, said insert with the tie thereon being slidable relatively to and disposed Within the container, the respective shapes of the container and insert causing the walls of the container to compress the tie against the insert.
